So I'm doing a smite build with Fanatacism. I put 20 points in and get 8 from my gear.

I'm using a Grief Phaseblade which rolled 37% IAS.

I plugged in 28 Fantacism and Phaseblade into the Attack Speed Calculator and it only shows two breakpoints when using Smite(https://i.imgur.com/pFCcVqE.png). 0% and 6%. WTF? does this mean that 31% of my weapons IAS is a complete waste, and that any more IAS I put into my gear is a complete waste?

If that's actually the case, then why do people suggest 20 in Fanaticism when clearly 20+ is a waste and totally overkill?

I put in just 10 Fanaticism and the IAS bp shops 14% IAS(https://i.imgur.com/O05Cs6P.png), meaning STILL my 37% IAS from Grief is mostly going to waste.

Placing 1 point into Fanaticism shows the last breakpoint at 37% IAS(https://i.imgur.com/ZiAqndf.png). So... do I only put 1 point in?

So either:

  • A ) I'm misunderstanding how the IAS calculator works.
  • B ) Fanaticism with Grief is pointless
  • C ) This calculator is wrong


Which is it? I don't want to have stats that are useless.

Okay I'm retarded I thought it was only attack speed and attack rating.

Having higher ias than bp is not wasting of stats, you will need much more ias when you are cursed or slowered by holy freeze aura.
